Actually, I'm not using ifconfig anywhere. This is something that brings
the network up from scratch. It *does* add the network route: 192.168.123.0
I need to add the gateway/default route, but I get an error (a value less
than 0) from the ioctl, and err returns 17 (EEXIST).
This makes no sense to me, as I thought that I could add duplicate routes,
and the route couldn't exist before hand!
Plus the man page's list of return values does *not* include EEXIST.
Thanks for the help, though.
Ciao!
